No gifted coordinator in this district. Son's orchestra teacher and the school district music chair STILL have not responded and now it's been 3 weeks. Fortunately son's private violin teacher obtained a scholarship form for us, for one which we still have time to apply for. However it must be submitted through school music teacher-- the same person who has not gotten back to me. I don't even want to ask him for the required recommendation letter. We hope they accept letter from private teacher because apparently the public school isn't prepared or willing to help.

I just don't understand why, and literally don't know what to say to them.
